I am trying to write a piece of code that will traverse the hierarchy
of a .flt database and determine if there are any holes( polygon gaps) within
the database. The database is 80 kilometers by 80 kilometers, so speed is of
the essence. If I do this with graphics, I am limited to a max speed of 60 hz(
based on system refresh rate) and if I am limited to this it would take almost
a year of constant runtime to traverse the entire database. But, if I could
run without graphics then I am only constrained by the speed of my cpu.
However, I am not sure if you can use Isectors and traversal of the database
hierarchy without calling pfsync and pfFrame( which I suspect would encompass
the use of graphics). Any help would be helpful.
